       @kensanata @dudenas but most importantly, as I always say to people joking about "where's my flying car!"... mate, have you noticed how people drive NON-flying cars? You want those same people to also be able to do THAT in 3D??? 😆

       @renatoram @kensanata @dudenas looking at the countries where prospective customers are based (which include European nations with strict regulations) I suspect that they are registered as small aircrafts and require a private pilots' licence - but its not /that/ difficult to obtain one in most countries if someone has the spare cash and time (there are already plenty of rich old men flying private aircrafts in the skies above my head every day...)

       @vfrmedia @kensanata @dudenas yeah, and they might also own some big empty fields to play in it (clearing a "flight path" for something like that over public space.... I highly doubt it).It's a rich-man toy, not a transportation method.

       @renatoram @kensanata @dudenas precisely - at least here in Europe I suspect the only places these /could/ be safely flown will be in/around small aerodromes which already allow gliders, large RC aircrafts, UAVs etc (and the aviation authorities have already defined safe flight paths for these hobby flights), they certainly aren't a replacement for the metro, or even a normal motor car, they will probably be transported to and from the aerodrome in a van or trailer anyway....

       @kensanata the whole idea of monster trucks is based on size domination.monster thopters would need to crash hard and still fly.
